Overcoming Barriers to Growth

Businesses that engage VisionLink are typically looking to overcome one or more of the following obstacles:

  • The inability to define and follow a clear rewards philosophy
  • The inability to effectively link compensation to performance
  • The inability to attract and/or retain the best people
  • The inability to consistently achieve a superior level of employee execution
  • The inability to engender an ownership mentality
  • The inability to measure and improve the return on their compensation investment
  • The inability to build consistent patterns of success and a culture of confidence
  • The inability to sustain a competitive advantage


Indicators that the rewards systems of the organization are not working:

  • Key employees think short-term when you need them thinking long-term—or vice versa
  • Pay strategies are not adequately linked to performance standards and expectations
  • Key employees don’t seem compelled by your vision for the business
  • Key employees are asking for equity in the business or to otherwise get “a piece of the action”
  • The company bonus plan is reinvented every year
  • Key talent leave after being offered a better value proposition by another company
  • There is an inappropriate balance between long-term and short-term and guaranteed versus variable compensation
  • You or your key managers feel handcuffed by the governmental restrictions associated with traditional corporate benefit and retirement plans
  • There are inadequate resources within the organization for the development of effective rewards strategies
  • You sense that you lack a basic philosophy and standards regarding how to structure and modify your pay programs
  • You feel you’ve built strong incentive plans in the past but that employees failed to understand and/or appreciate them
